Alright, Christmas is just around the corner and it's time for Christmas gifts shopping again! Listed below are the cool Christmas gifts 2010 which I think will be hot for this year.

1. Tablet PCs

Since Apple release the iPad, tablet PCs has become a hot trend. Many other companies are planning on releasing their own branded of tablet pcs, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the only device on the market that's worth considered as iPad's alternative. Check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab reviews here, and the Apple iPad reviews here. Both are great device at almost similar price range. Check out also this great post: Galaxy Tab vs iPad

2. Netbooks

Tablet PCs make great content consumption devices but are uncomfortable or difficult to use for content creation. If you want a device for document processing, writing blog posts, or taking notes, netbook is still a better choice compared to tablet PC. Check out the list of top 10 netbooks here.

3. Dell Inspiron Duo

If you can't decide whether you should be getting a tablet PC or a netbook, here's a third option -- Dell Inspiron Duo. What's special about this device is that it has a rotating screen which can be flipped 360 degrees thus allowing it to work as both a netbook and a tablet. Hard to imagine? Check out the video below. The Dell Inspiron Duo will be made available by the first week of December 2010 at $549.

4. Xbox Kinect

Xbox Kinect is probably the biggest breakthrough in the gaming industry this year. The Kinect console enable us to play a game without using any controller. All you need is use your body gestures and spoken command to interact with the system. Check out the promo videos below, and find a list of Kinect games that are currently available here.
